After the loss and desperate preformance against Accrington, Waddock was quoted in the Mail as saying:..“It will be addressed, make no mistake, because that is not the type of team we want playing for this club.

So Williams and Wroe have returned to their clubs , the scapegoat appears to be Davies as he is keeping everyone else.

Not the clear out that was promised.

It was never going to be a massive clear out though was it as most of them are still under contract. With the 3 released the 3 loanees gone and the 2 dev squad players gone as well there is plenty of room to bring in 6 or 7 players.

A more creative midfield and a couple of strikers would be a good start.

My view as well. I know many whom have commented in a similar fashion and are concerned about next season already!

I think that with a bit of confidence restored and a few extra additions, we actually have a rather good defence actually. What we definitely have on here is a bunch of moaning fans that seem to think that they know it all, with too much expectancy but actually offering little support or understanding, Always ready kick a man whilst his down and perhaps the real reason why we finish each season on a poor note. Some of you lot really should move over to Northampton for nest season and give our team a proper chance......now I await the thumbs down, although I expect no more as it seems to be in your DNA.

In one way I agree with your comments re the defence, which looked very good at Plymouth. Providing Mullins comes back as his old self, providing Wright gets his enthusiasm and timing back, providing Newey stops getting yellows in every other game then we could have a good defence. However it puts a lot of pressure on the midfield because both fullbacks are lacking going forward. If we get two really good midfielders in who can cope with not having fullbacks who drive forward, then we may just be OK...But where are those precious midfielders coming from.

I think that Alfie will be like a new signing for us next season. That tackle really put the frighteners up him. He was winning games by himself at the start of the season. For his sake though he has to shake the nerves and get stuck in again, otherwise his career will be over. Mullins and Whing also missing for big part of the run in. 3 key players that Waddock could not judge properly. Add these to maybe 4 or 5 new faces and the squad will have a different feel about it.

Further to earlier comment re the 2 development spaces freed, that is true but they have already been filled by the 3 kids being signed on. I think that some will be transfer listed. Rose did not offer enough since the beginning of the season and question Raynes.......is he good enough to be our 3rd centre back?

I think that it is key to keep some cash back to strengthen with a big name in January.
